Eric W. Biederman 932ea2e374 sysfs: Introduce sysfs_rename_mutex
Looking carefully at the rename code we have a subtle dependency
that the structure of sysfs not change while we are performing
a rename.  If the parent directory of the object we are renaming
changes while the rename is being performed nasty things could
happen when we go to release our locks.

So introduce a sysfs_rename_mutex to prevent this highly
unlikely theoretical issue.

In addition hold sysfs_rename_mutex over all calls to
sysfs_get_dentry. Allowing sysfs_get_dentry to be simplified
in the future.
